I’m about to start crowdfunding for a film I would like to make that’s an improvised comedy à la Christopher Guest/ Mike Leigh. I’m gonna be mildly annoying about it but only because I’m extremely excited about it and unfortunately Hollywood is dead seedandspark.com/fund/treasur...

SO MANY ‘Am I still glowing?’ ‘Barely breathing’ ‘Your father heard that, William.’ ‘One ping only.’ ‘Are you alright? Your light is dim, even by Eastern European standards.’ And this from one of my chosen saints.

GODDAMN I love making comics. Okay. So we did a story very dear to my heart in Uncanny X-Men, about mutants during the Jim Crow era, called THE DARK ARTERY. It featured a new character named LADY HENRIETTA, and people just took to her in a beautiful way. They asked for more. 1/

So far this year, 14 people have died in U.S. ICE custody, including a Mexican man who was found unresponsive last week at a facility in Los Angeles, according to DHS data.

Progressively weirder with every episode and one of the most belligerently ‘No. FUCK YOU, PEOPLE ARE *DECENT*’ shows I’ve seen

The novelisation of book 2 is coming out soon which means in about a month I can FINALLY start working on season 3 😮‍💨 sorry it's taken so long, being an adult sadly comes with way too many responsibilities 😔

Watching Paradise season 2 episode 4 and in bits. Also getting progressively more fucking exhausted at media illiteracy. I’ve seen people whining about a plot hole in this and it’s just…NOT THERE. It doesn’t exist. You get everything you need to work out what’s going on if you pay Attention.

And somewhere Andy Weir puts his head in his hands and goes ‘oh thank FUCK’ Old white men being cowards.

Life force. Perfect sexy nonsense. Deliberately hilarious protagonist who manages the near impossible of being unflappable and utterly batshit terrified at the same time

Hi Folks, My name is Joshua Garrity and I'm the Head Game Scout at Secret Mode. Previously I worked for Team17 and Fireshine in similar capacity. I have signed games such as Core Keeper, Shadows of Doubt and Everything is Crab. I'm always on the look out for exciting new pitches! #IndieGameBiz

Orrin is an incredible author and human and this, referring to Weir's just fucking nonsensical bullshit parade over the weekend, is absolutely perfect.

The stunning @abigailkimva.bsky.social is BACK as Hunter for an all new episode on April 1st 🥰😉 youtu.be/cPFhp0yt_iI

The empty fedora apologises. gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st... And I would love to know how this, actual words he spoke, were taken out of context: “I don’t like a lot of the new Trek. He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are shit.'

SO here for this one.

I was delighted to see some original fiction at #CitrusCon2026! I picked up two books by @poopraven.bsky.social and I can’t wait to read them!

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

Fucking FUCK. I just got a text saying our car has been assigned out for repossession. I need to get them a payment today or we’re cooked, and we just sent out a huge rent payment. Please help, and please share. ❤️ PayPal.me/MaeGodHaveMercy Cash.app/$MaeGodHaveMercy Venmo.com/u/MaeGodHaveMercy

Important words from the Sesame Street Workshop (which is still tackling very real problems for kids). This is another week of tense news, so maybe keep these wise words for toddlers in mind: "If you're using your device and it doesn't make you feel happy or feel connected just... put it away."

genuinely, it's an odd thing I read this, and then I look around on set and *everyone* is skint where is that money going?* *don't answer

Weir saying he just "wants to see Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other" without recognizing the obvious Cold War/Racism parallels in "Balance of Terror" shows a level of media literary blindness that is astonishing for a best-selling and award-winning successful sci-fi author. Not great!

Project Hail Mary? Great movie. Everything Andy Weir thinks about Star Trek? Really dumb!

Some hold to the misguided belief farmland does not sing to the witch. They fetishize ferality to the point they exclude the truth that every place has it songs. Fields sing of what is buried below, sing of libation thirst. Their tangled borders are spirit trap. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

Best railcar graffiti I've ever seen

Star Trek: The Next Generation, possibly the best television show ever, is not about spaceships shooting lasers at each other, it is about a man who represents the best of us trying to teach his robot son to be human while debating whether humans even deserve to exist with his best frenemy, God.

Reminder that the reason you're seeing so much weird Chappell Roan news is that just a few weeks ago she fired her Epstein-adjacent agent, Casey Wasserman. Wasserman is still the chairman of the 2028 LA olympics, but has started stepping back from his ad agency.

I find a lot of the calcified lore around Who fandom equal parts tiresome and exhausting. But the fact it's spent multiple decades going 'No, seriously, FUCK THIS GUY SPECIFICALLY' with this asshole is something I absolutely, one hundred percent, stand behind.

Hot take: Men & masc-presenting people at LARP do one 20 min session of waggling a foam weapon in someone's face and then start talking very seriously about battle tactics and footwork in exactly the same way that a junior karateka who has just passed their 8th kyu talks about 'fighting awareness'
